An interactive map is a dynamic, user-friendly tool that helps attendees explore and navigate your event venue with real-time information at their fingertips. Instead of a static floor plan, attendees can interact with the map, search for specific points of interest, and pull up relevant details on demand. The map also supports booth placements and their association with user groups, adding another layer of functionality and personalization. Here's how it works.
Organizers can strategically place booths on the interactive map to optimize the flow and layout of the event. By selecting specific locations on the map, you can designate exactly where each exhibitor's booth will sit within the venue. This makes it easy for attendees to navigate straight to the booths they're interested in.
The interactive map also lets you associate booths with user groups. A user group can represent a distinct category of attendees — sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, or any other session-based segment. By linking booths to user groups, organizers can apply targeted access controls or special privileges, making it easier for attendees to find the specific booths tied to the people or sessions they care about.
Together, booth placements and user-group associations create a more organized and personalized event experience: attendees can quickly locate relevant booths, while organizers retain control over access and can deliver targeted information to specific segments of their audience.
Q: What is an interactive map in Eventspot?
A: It's a dynamic version of your event floor plan that lets attendees search, explore, and interact with booths and points of interest in real time, instead of relying on a static image.
Q: Can I control where booths appear on the map?
A: Yes. Organizers can place each exhibitor's booth at a specific location on the map to optimize event flow and make booths easy to find.
Q: What are user groups, and why would I associate them with booths?
A: User groups are attendee segments — such as sponsors, speakers, or exhibitors. Associating a booth with a user group lets you apply targeted access controls or privileges, and helps attendees quickly find booths relevant to the group they're interested in.
Q: Do attendees need any special setup to use the interactive map?
A: No. Once the map is configured by the organizer, attendees can use it directly within the event app to search and navigate without any extra setup.
Q: Can I update booth placements after the map has been published?
A: Yes. Organizers can revisit the interactive map settings at any time to reposition booths or update user-group associations as event needs change.
